Results Not Typical with Nikki Naab-Levvy: The Intersections of Diet Culture & Purity Culture
In this episode, Nikki chats with Zach and Sarah Lacour about the commonalities between diet culture and purity culture.
We discuss:
How both cultures conflate diet, exercise, and weight with morality The emphasis on weight loss and policing of women's bodies in both cultures How purity culture shows up in the language of fitness culture How this narrative contributes to body dysmorphia, disordered eating, and eating disorders Zach's experience as a gay man who grew up in the Mormon church and now works in the nutrition and fitness space Sarah's experience growing up in the evangelical church and the work she has done to deconstruct it Connect with Sarah:
